About
I am a hard working individual who has switched majors far and wide ranging from Mechanical Engineering to Physics and Music Education/Performance to Analytical Mathematics until I found that theatre to be a passion of mine. When I learned of everything that goes into a Technical Design and the duties of a Technical Director I realized that this was the life meant for me, combining my passion for physics and math with the obsession I have for television, film and theatre.
A world where being just a little off but thinking on your feet while on top of the metaphorical box of logic our society seems to be stuck in, is embraced and utilized constantly, where creative problem solving is essential.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
Gaining experience as a Technical Director in multiple theatre companies in addition to film and television culminating in eventually working in the industry of live entertainment after gaining a masters degree.
- Graduate school interests
I am interested in any school that provides a masters in Technical Theatrical Design or comparative degree in the United States or overseas. Before I obtain my Masters degree I would like to study abroad in the UK in hopes of gaining insight into the way Europe goes about theatre, TV, and film.
- Outside the classroom
I love to do many things ranging from listening, writing and playing music on the multiple instruments I play, to reading, drawing, gaming and watching films and television series all hold my attention during my free time quite often. Then upon the chance that I am able to I also enjoy joining in on a rugby match, tennis match, paintball, Scottish Highland Games or creating costumes for cosplay, which I tend to work on representing the character fully to improve upon my acting.
